Bab 1023: Oh Shit

A year and a half later, in the royal treasure, located in the deepest section of the city's administrative building, was a woman. She was old and frail, looking like she was at the final vestiges of her life. 

However, in contrast, her body seemed heavy, the toughest in fact. The fact that she had been the only one to oversee and protect the royal treasury was a testament to her strength. She was the previous City Lord, the mother to the current City Lord. 

During her prime, she had even clashed with a Demon God once. Sadly, it wasn't even a fight. A single hit was all it took to bring her to death's door. But for some reason, the Demon God had let her live. After that incident, she retired and focused on healing her injuries using Water Essences. 

Once recovered, she decided to oversee the royal treasury, stepping back from everything. Pacing around the massive hall, she looked at numerous items, sighing as she could feel their past glory.
